DISAPPOINTMENTS

  • NOOOOOOO: Ugh and we were looking forward to meeting him: “Vice President Dick Cheney will not make an appearance at the Republican convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul next month, according to sources in his office. Cheney has not sought a speaking slot at the convention, nor has his staff sought a role for him at the convention.” And this party’s nominee is somehow tied with Barack Obama in The Polls. Discuss.

    No but he will be controlling what everyone says from behind the stage. Like this wasn’t obvious.

  2. I can’t disclose details for fear of a fate worse than death, but it does involve black roosters, chalk, and the fact that Karl Rove is not actually a human being.

  3. columnv says at 6:26 pm, August 4th, 2008

    This party’s nominee is tied with Barry because of trollops like Cindy McCunt.

  4. Quacker says at 6:29 pm, August 4th, 2008

    But, will he attend Paultartpalooza?

  5. SuperRounder says at 6:30 pm, August 4th, 2008

    Yeah I figured he would stay home. Do you know how much gas it takes to power the Deathstar?

  6. LittlePig says at 6:32 pm, August 4th, 2008

    When he found out shotguns were not allowed, he bowed out. How can men bond without shotguns?

  7. The Incomparable Tiny Valdez says at 6:33 pm, August 4th, 2008

    Fundamentalists were asleep at the wheel these last eight years. Barry is not the AntiChrist–Cheney was. Let the end times begin! Tonight we’re gonna partay like it’s 1999!

  8. Neilist says at 6:33 pm, August 4th, 2008

    Whew.

    I guess that means there won’t be a spike in 28 gauge dove loads in sporting goods stores in the greater Minneapolis/St. Paul area.

    Older trial lawyers in the area are breathing a sigh of relief. . . .

  9. columnv says at 6:33 pm, August 4th, 2008

    SuperRounder: The deathstar consumes hopes and dreams, and those are renewable resources.

  10. SayItWithWookies says at 6:33 pm, August 4th, 2008

    I’m sure whatever Cheney will be doing, it involves diligently making the world a worse place to live. And that’s far more important than making some sort of speech about how Barack Obama is a communist and is going to jail all the white people.

  11. AngryBlakGuy says at 6:33 pm, August 4th, 2008

    …if anymore Republicans sit out this convention they should call it a house party.

  12. Mahousu says at 6:35 pm, August 4th, 2008

    Cheney can’t make it because he has a Cuddle Party scheduled for the same day.

  13. BadNewsJack says at 6:36 pm, August 4th, 2008

    Well, looks like darkness will not envelop the land, as the prophesy once stated.

  14. tunamelt says at 6:40 pm, August 4th, 2008

    So is he the wizard behind the curtain or the witch with a horde of flying monkeys?

  15. Squiggyfm says at 6:40 pm, August 4th, 2008

    To be fair to Cheney…it is his hibernation week…and he’s wildly unpopular.

  16. NoWireHangers says at 6:41 pm, August 4th, 2008

    Well, if WALNUTS! someone wins this thing because of the Moran vote, then maybe the terrorists do deserve to win.

  17. KevoTron says at 6:43 pm, August 4th, 2008

    Mahousu: If anyone needs a hug it’s that guy.

  18. bitchincamaro says at 6:44 pm, August 4th, 2008

    What’s a party without a dick?

  19. FunkyPalmettoBug says at 6:45 pm, August 4th, 2008

    Virgin blood isn’t going to distill itself people!

  20. slavojzizek says at 6:46 pm, August 4th, 2008

    Having seen Obama linked to Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Moses, many voters like me realize a decrepit war criminal would make the better president.

  21. The Incomparable Tiny Valdez says at 6:47 pm, August 4th, 2008

    I have a personal Cheney tale. My younger sister went to University of Wyoming and met her future husband Steve there. He told me that when he was a kid, they lived next door to Lynne Cheney’s family in Cheyanne. When he was a young whippersnapper and Lynne and Dick were college age, Dick was a-visiting the Lynnes, and like a total College Republican dick he was practicing his golf game in the back yard. A few came over into Steve’s yard, where he was playing while his father worked on the garden. College Dick came over to the fence and said, “Hey boy. Throw me back my balls.” Steve said, “No. Come and get them yourself, asshole.” His dad says if he had been so rude to any other adult he would have wupped his butt, but this little twit Cheney was so arrogant he deserved it, and Steve got a pat on the head.

    They still live in Wyoming. Steve claims he and my sister and his dad are the only Dems in the state. Gobama!

    It’s almost as if Republicans are trying to erase any ties they have to the Bushies. Now why would they do that?

  23. bitchincamaro says at 6:53 pm, August 4th, 2008

    Tiny valdez: I’d have gladly thrown his balls over the fence for him.

  24. itgetter says at 7:09 pm, August 4th, 2008

    Well, obviously this is because thousands of Republicans wouldn’t agree to Cheney’s strict security demands. I mean, how can he expect Repubs to forgo bathroom sex for the hours before and during his appearance?

  25. wonk_the_heck says at 7:12 pm, August 4th, 2008

    Too bad, but it’ll be horrible enough with McCain speaking.

  26. Darehead says at 7:14 pm, August 4th, 2008

    One big dickfest missing its head.

  27. Mahousu says at 7:32 pm, August 4th, 2008

    KevoTron: I agree. You first.

  28. regisgoat says at 7:36 pm, August 4th, 2008

    So, is W. going to be there, or does he have to cut brush that weekend?

  29. shortsshortsshorts says at 7:57 pm, August 4th, 2008

    DICK CHENEY FOR VEEP

  30. RuperttheBear says at 9:29 pm, August 4th, 2008

    My house. Keg and shots.

    Get it? “shots”?

    Anyhoo . . . I live in Wisconsin.

  31. shortsshortsshorts says at 11:05 pm, August 4th, 2008

    regisgoat: He will be making lots of decisions. We will embrace them, or surely he will be gone in the 2004 election.
    I only acknowledge the last 3 and 3/5 years as reality because my pharmaceuticals agree.

  32. Oscar Folsom Cleveland says at 12:32 am, August 5th, 2008

    Two angry white guys going toe-to-toe…what a spectacle for the Republicans. And how auspiucious that their fake convention starts on a holiday; perfect.

  33. sati demise says at 12:32 am, August 5th, 2008

    So?

  34. villageatrois says at 1:48 am, August 5th, 2008

    Ooooohhhh. I was so looking forward to seeing him appear with his family, including the father of his grandchild, Mr. T. Baster.

  35. PioBaroja says at 2:03 am, August 5th, 2008

    He has other things to do, like, I understand there’s a big sale on Truck Nutz. Also, he’s only shot one guy with his own hands this year, apparently, and that was really retribution for sending him the anthrax. He likes to spend his summers getting in a good gratuitous shooting. Pity Anne Armstrong died last week, she was setting him up with the reanimated corpse of Clark Clifford. Word has it the zombie Clifford was to have been given a three day head start and a knife.

  36. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 3:40 am, August 5th, 2008

    Great, just great. Now who is going to cause the eclipse when the beast changes host?

  37. The mob with the pitchforks and torches will be greatly disappointed.

  38. ronaldpagan says at 4:35 am, August 5th, 2008

    FOUR MORE YEARS!!
